WITL - Sunday

I woke up feeling so much better! I could walk on my knee with much less pain and was able to be productive! Yay!
 Our morning started with some snuggles on the couch. These two are like 2 peas in a pod.
 The kids wanted pancakes for breakfast.



 They seemed to enjoy them:) I did too!
 Tantrum time...
 I have been wanting to organize and really clean Aiden's room the last couple weeks but couldn't seem to get around to it.  After being stuck in bed all day I was feeling so motivated to get it done!

 Bella and Anderson read some books while I worked. She is so good at keeping him busy.  She is a great big sister.
 Finally finished and I felt really good about it!
 While Bella was cleaning up her room, Sarah decided to keep Anderson busy on the computer for a while.   She is like another big sister to him. He is a lucky little boy!
 After all the work was done, Sarah, Annabella and I decided it was time for fun! We painted nails and did some crafts.



 I taught them how to use the Cricut. They were thrilled!
 Lunch for me was an egg and cheese sandwich.
 The kids had fish sticks and apples. They decided to eat on the porch.
 Silly girls!
 Our new neighbors invited us over for a cook out and swimming. The kids had a blast and so did we!




 Uh oh.....I feel a tantrum coming on!
 After we got home and put the kids to bed I did a few last things around the kitchen and decided to relax with a nice cup of coffee.  I really like my night time coffee!
So that's it! I did it! I documented the whole week!  I am really happy I finished this and am so excited to get it into and album.   It will be fun to look back at this next year and see what has changed in our lives.

I will finish this! WITL-Saturday

So, I wasn't going to continue with my WITL project through the weekend because I had a set back with my knee.  After looking on Ali Edwards blog and reading some of her great tips, she reminded me that life throws curve balls and it is important to capture everything. Not just all the good stuff.  I got one picture yesterday and it was my view while stuck in bed for most of the day.  I don't like not being able to take care of my kids, it's hard for me.  The funny thing is I always think how nice it would be to just do nothing all day, have no responsibility, but when you are forced into it, it's no fun!  I also realize how much I really do love being a Mom and taking care of my kids.  I definitely take that for granted some days. I am a lucky Mama.

Later in the day I was able to move around better and felt like I could be up and a little productive.  I called my good friend Debbie and asked her if she wanted to come sit on my porch for a while.  She came over along with our new neighbor, Rebecca, who is great!  I am very blessed with amazing neighbors and friends.

So, this was my Saturday. Not how I wanted to spend it but that's life!

WITL- Friday


 Our day started out very early today.  Anderson was up at 4am with an accident and wouldn't go back to sleep.  He eventually went off around 7am and slept until we had to go to the school for April Birthday Celebrations.

 I cheated and went to Bilo to get cupcakes and cookies to bring to the school.


 Anderson and I went off to Beech Hill to bring Bella's class their treats!
 She was thrilled....lol






 I finished another page for Anderson's toddler album. Yay!

 Some movie time on Mommy's bed
 The never ending laundry

 Waiting to pick the kids up from school and Anderson fell asleep.

My day took a turn for the worse around 4pm when my already sore knee completely locked up and I was out of commission for the rest of the night.  I did get some great snuggles that night from my sweet Annabella. She wanted to take care of me and told me if I needed anything she would get it for me.  Love.Her.

It is now Saturday morning and I am stuck in bed and haven't been able to take any pictures.  So my WITL project will consist of Monday thru Friday:)  It was a fun thing to do and I am glad I made it till Friday!  I plan to order all these pictures and put them into an album as soon as I can.  I will post pictures of it as I work on it. For now I need to get the knee situation taken care of.

WITL - Thursday

 I was better at taking pictures today. Still didn't take a ton but enough to get an idea of our day. Here it goes...
 On my way to the school this morning I thought the sky looked really cool. So peaceful up there and so hectic down here.
 Anderson after we got home from dropping off the kids.
 Taking Max across the street to do his business.

 Anderson standing in the doorway watching me with Max across the street.
 Ahhhhh......coffee.....
 Working on my WITL pics from Wed:)
 This guy wasn't feeling well:(
 I went outside and swept all the sand and dirt on the porch.
 Put some plants outside to help them come back to life. 
 Lunch!
 Trying to organize scrapbook supplies.
 My little helper working on his own little craft project with glue, ink and stamps! yikes!
 Annabella and her friends playing with their American Girl dolls.

 Finally got my bed made! Woohoo!
 We went to an Earth Day show at the school to watch Annabella play the hand bells and also do a cheerleading routine.  Aiden wasn't thrilled to be there but we tried to make him understand how important it is to show up and support eachother.
 We went out for ice cream after but I didn't get any pictures because it was very busy in there and I was just trying to keep track of everyone! We came home, the kids showered, brushed teeth and headed off to bed.  Annabella was having a little bit of a rough night so she camped out on the floor in my room.  That always made me feel better when I was little and she reminds me so much of me so I couldn't say no.  Giorgio and I enjoyed some time together watching TV and then I was off to bed. All in all it was a good day:)
